Bell Ringer 11/5

The election results for Barbour County didn't have a higher Republican or Democratic winning rate.  As for the state of West Virginia, Republican candidates won the popular vote for the House and Senate, but a Democrat governor won. The winners were mainly male and one incumbent won.  I think that elections are important because they give the people the freedom to choose their leaders.  I also think it is important to vote because it is a freedom that wasn't always there, and now that it is, we should take advantage of that and feel grateful for it.
